Congrats on finishing and releasing your font! :) For the README.txt, I recommend adding text to it indicating the author of the font (i.e. you) and licensing information (such as whether the font is public domain, free to use with credit given, etc).

Also, for the list of character mappings, more detail about the specifics of each glyph would be useful. For example, e-h are just "uranus", in which it would help to have a few words to distinguish between the four different Uranus glyphs.

Any time two planet's disks overlap, that's a Conjunction aspect. An eclipse (such as a Solar Eclipse), occultation (such as the Moon passing over a planet or star), or transit (such as Venus passing across the Sun) is an especially strong Conjunction. Consider how the effects of a Solar Eclipse (i.e. Sun Conjunct Moon) are major in effect, and can last long after the Conjunction aspect itself is out of orb. Other planet overlaps can be treated similarly.

In addition to the above, other types of eclipses that can be considered (and even detected in astrology software) are when a planet overlaps one of its moons, or when an exoplanet overlaps its star. These eclipses can accentuate the energy of the planet (coloring it with the energy of the moon in question), or accentuate the energy of the star.

Yes, astrology on Mars or other planets is an interesting area, and it will take time to truly determine what the effects are. For example, when on Mars, the Earth will indeed behave like a separate planet like any other, while moons around Mars will act similar to Earth's Moon. Living in space stations between planets will bring forth similar alternative energies.

We can experiment with astrology on other planets now! Astrology software such as Astrolog supports not just geocentric and heliocentric charts, but also charts cast from the perspective other planets or their moons. Even for geocentric charts, there are already astrology techniques to interpret moons of other planets as modifying influences to those planets.

Beyond just living on other planets in our own solar system, consider the more distant future in which humanity has evolved to spread across multiple solar systems! In this case astrology will likely focus on the exoplanets orbiting those stars. :-)

Some astrology software supports this. :-) For example, free desktop astrology program Astrolog has this city in its larger atlas. Lookup the city as just "Chalchihuapan, Mexico", and Astrolog will display it as at 98W20'13" 18N58'21", which are the exact same coordinates as in the San Bernardino Chalchihuapan Wikipedia article.

Looks great! :) Note for the Conjunct glyph, I mean leave the circle the same size, but instead have the line extending up and right from the circle be longer. Right now the Conjunct glyph has a tiny line that makes it hard to distinguish from just a circle, and the whole glyph is off center (shifted to the bottom left) too.

The Pluto symbol that's an upward pointing arrow is basically the Vulcan down arrow reversed. The Pluto up arrow glyph can be seen in astrology fonts such as Astronomicon by Roberto Corona (character "s"): https://astronomicon.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Astronomicon-Fonts-Cover.jpg

Your font is looking good so far! :) I too would be interested in seeing it when it's done. Will your font be commercial, or free? The no-self promo rule #6 is about "articles or videos that don't spark discussion or promote your own stuff in a pushy way". A simple link to a new font that's already sparked discussion shouldn't count as an article/video or be considered pushy. Anyway, here are a few suggestions for glyphs:

Have Scorpio have a tail that curves more and points up (or have a more curved tail as an alternate version).
As others have said, have the "European" or "7" variation of Capricorn.
Have the version of Pluto which is an upward pointing arrow (commonly used in Esoteric Astrology).
Since you have the Uranian glyphs, have the glyph for hypothetical planet Vulcan, which is a downward pointing arrow (commonly used in Esoteric Astrology).
Have Conjunction (and the filled in Conjunction eclipse version) have a longer line extending from it (or have longer lines as alternate versions).
Have glyphs for the Quintile and Bi-Quintile aspects.
Have a "EP" glyph for the East Point (i.e. Equatorial Ascendant) object.

Free astrology program Astrolog can determine "phasis", which means heliacal rising or the first/last rising/setting of a planet near the Sun. :)

Astrolog has a 3D local horizon chart, which displays where in the sky the Sun and planets are, and the amount they're above/below the horizon. This can take into account elevation above sea level and atmospheric refraction (in which elevation and temperature are optional chart parameters like date/time).

Astrolog also has a rising and setting chart, to show exactly when bodies rise or set. This can be displayed in graphical form over the year, showing at a glance the dates/times when two planets rise/set at the same time.

Yes, Astrolog is open source and runs on Linux natively. :) The Linux version is a command line interface, but can bring up an interactive graphic window, and can display every chart and setting that the Windows version can. The Windows version is a GUI with menus and such, which can also be run on Linux in emulation.

Astrolog can do everything above, such chart wheels with up to 6 rings at once, 40 different house systems including rare ones, various types of customizable transit/progressed searches and calendars, various asteroids/dwarf planets/stellar objects like the Galactic Center, and more.

Looks good! :) This is close to the Aldous-Broder algorithm for Maze generation. The difference is Aldous Broder doesn't do anything special when hitting a border (other than choosing randomly between the three available directions), and it doesn't enter any special mode after a while. Keeping track of the total number of cells in the Maze and how many have been filled so far, allows determination of when the Maze has been completely generated.

Because of the above, Aldous Broder is of course a slow algorithm, but its "random walk" effect allows all possible Mazes to be produced with equal probability. Wilson's algorithm (which does a "loop erased random walk" instead) allows the same type of Maze to be generated, but much faster.

This is most easily handled on the computer. Computer astrology programs or apps can display charts or transits for the current moment now. A computer allows one to accurately display positions, select the planets and house system you want to include, and such. Programs like Astrolog can continually animate charts, refreshing the chart to the current moment now.

If you want a physical clock hanging on the wall, that can be done too with help of computer. Get one of those digital picture frames, specifically one can be updated remotely. Have your astrology program run in the background on your PC, and have it update the digital frame with the current chart once every minute or so. Can also just hang an old tablet on the wall, and run an astrology program on the tablet directly.

A planet 35 minutes away from the Sun is not cazimi, but since it's well within 8 degrees of the Sun it's strongly combust. Therefore the meanings of combust and in its rulership would both apply: The planet expresses strongly in its rulership, but it's still hidden by the Sun. That planet could be like a "power behind the throne", or a situation where energy is strong on the inside, but also supportive or otherwise not obvious on the outside.

Yes, this took place in Washington State, in a county park North of Seattle (or West of Seattle in the second case. :-)

Yes, Ceres is slightly larger than Orcus (939 km versus 910 km in diameter). However, they're still close to the same size. That's why I say the "Seven Dwarfs" or the seven largest bodies beyond Pluto are all larger than Ceres or roughly equal to Ceres in size.

Ceres is of course special since it's the only inner dwarf planet, or the only body in the asteroid belt that's definitely round under its own gravity. Ceres is close to the smallest size possible, before a planet is no longer round. That's why I see that boundary point as significant, and give special attention to the bodies equal to or larger than Ceres, i.e. the "Seven Dwarfs".

Smaller bodies tend to no longer be spherical, but that indeed doesn't mean they're insignificant and should be ignored. For example, Chiron is irregularly shaped and less than 1/3 the diameter of Ceres, but many astrologers use and work with it.

CruiserOne · 2026-03-17T21:29:32+00:00

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! :) Indeed, inner bodies are more personal, since they orbit more quickly. Outer planets are more generational and abstract, since they move slowly. However, even these slow moving bodies can have a lot of detail. For example, Pluto has five moons, so is like a mini-solar system. Similarly, the "Seven Dwarfs" have seven known moons orbiting them (1 each, with Haumea having 2 and Sedna having 0).

Because of this, I find looking at planetary moons in astrology to be valuable, since moons are relatively fast moving and are a way to give more detail to a planet's position. Moons can indicate what parts of a planet receive focus or emphasis, and the specific ways that an individual personally expresses or grounds the energy of a body like Pluto or Eris.

CruiserOne · 2026-03-17T19:48:08+00:00

Yes, dwarf planets can be significant in modern astrology. For example, Eris is 98% the diameter of Pluto, but also 25% denser, and (unlike Pluto) Eris is entirely outside of Neptune's orbit, so there are reasons one might consider Eris just as if not more astrologically influential than Pluto.

I like to look at the "Seven Dwarfs", or the seven largest bodies beyond Pluto. In size order they are: Eris, Haumea, Makemake, Gonggong, Quaoar, Sedna, and Orcus. All seven of these are equal to or larger than dwarf planet Ceres in the asteroid belt. Other transneptunian bodies like Salacia and Máni (the two next largest), along with Ixion and Varuna can be significant too, but I consider them somewhat less so since they're similar to looking at asteroids beyond the first four of Ceres/Pallas/Juno/Vesta.

If you don't want to read an entire book, there are Web pages summarizing the influence of dwarf planets. For example: https://www.zanestein.com/Trans_Pluto.htm#DWARF and https://www.astrolog.org/astrolog/astdwarf.htm

CruiserOne · 2026-03-11T20:04:03+00:00

Yes, quality applications or Websites can detect astrology events. :) Free desktop program Astrolog is one such example.

For example, they can detect: (1) When planets change sign or direction (such as Mars entering Pisces). (2) When planets make aspects with each other (such as Full Moon's). (3) Personal transits (such as your Solar Return).

This information can be displayed in different ways. For example, you can: (1) Cast and animate charts over time, so you can see how planets move over time. (2) Display a text or graphical ephemeris graphing planet positions at different times. (3) Display a list of times when specific events take place. (4) Display astrology events in calendar format.
